- Oh snap! Elizabeth Warren is coming for Silicon Valley and the lack of diversity in tech ๐ณ. First who have her folks been talking to? Secondly she so far outpaces the pack on most deeply rooted issues. Lastly, she has gotten my attention. ๐Replying to @ewarrenBut even if we fully close the startup capital gap, deep systemic issues will continue to tilt the playing field. 86% of venture capitalists are white, and studies show that investors are more likely to partner with entrepreneurs who look like them.
